Consider the source, NPR. The AK47 is the leading instrument of death on this planet because many countries armies use them because they are inexpensive.
Lets not forget the 20 - 30 million killed by Mao, the 30 million killed by Stallin, the 10 million killed by Hitler, Cambodians, Rwandans and many others killed by dictators adding up to about 100 million in the 20th Century alone.
DC can keep it's gun laws. I live in Virginia.
Maryland has some pretty strict gun laws too.
